About The Panhandle Gives

The Panhandle Gives is 9 days of enhanced charitable giving to support diverse nonprofits in the Texas Panhandle. The Amarillo Area Foundation brings together a network of leaders, partners, organizations, and generous individuals on behalf of our communities to help improve quality of life for Texas Panhandle residents.

Generosity gives everyone the power to make a positive change in the lives of others and is a fundamental value anyone can act on. To bolster support of participating organizations, AAF established the “Amplification Fund” made up of money given from foundations, corporate sponsors, and individual donors. One hundred percent of all donations raised by the organizations are kept by that organization. In addition, each participating organization that raised at least $250 during the campaign, receives a percentage match based on the total amount of the Amplification Fund. This means if you give during The Panhandle Gives, your favorite organizations receive MORE than what you gave. For an example of how the match is calculated, visit the FAQ section found under MENU in the upper right corner of this page.

We are asking you to give where you live! #thepanhandlegives
